What you should pay attention to when choosing a “floral” finish
First you need to decide what exactly the image of the flowers should be: in the form of a solid picture or in the form of an ornament on tiles. The first option is a kind of photo wallpaper, only for a “wet” room. This decoration is a ceramic panel depicting photographs or paintings with flowers. It is placed above the bathtub, and the size is selected depending on the total area of the room. There are several types of panels:
- in the form of a solid tile;
- assembled from several tiles of the same shape;
- a free-size panel that does not have a clear geometry and consists of several parts of arbitrary shape;
- mosaic.
A solid tile is a small-sized ceramic “picture”. It is suitable for small bathrooms in combination with the main decoration in neutral tones.
A panel assembled from tiles is usually quite large in size, so it is suitable for spacious rooms.

The free-size panel looks interesting. This option involves the formation of an overall picture from tiles of different shapes and sizes, with a pattern partially or completely applied to them. This solution is ideal for decoration in modern high-tech or minimalist styles.
Mosaic is the most beautiful and at the same time expensive type of panel, requiring a significant area. The mosaic looks great from the outside, visually expanding the walls, creating the illusion of open space, but to appreciate it, you need to look at it from afar.
The use of panels not only decorates the room, but also visually adjusts its size: a vertical “picture” raises the ceilings, a horizontal “picture” expands the walls. In addition, the volumetric pattern creates the illusion of a window or open space, “enlarging” even the most modest room.

- the panel can be framed with a decorative border with an unobtrusive and as simple as possible ornament (can be floral), but it is better to do without it;
- When using individual tiles with images of flowers, they are placed mixed with plain tiles so that the walls do not look tacky.

Features of bathroom tiles

- Collection. Before purchasing, the consumer can consider various tile options that can be combined with each other. The stands should have a special collection that contains five elements: light and dark background, frieze (border), decor, floor copy. With the help of such an assembly, it is easier for the buyer to decide on the option and imagine the possible design.

- Optimal sizes. Here everything depends not only on the taste of the owner, but also on the chosen design. This year it is recommended to use tiles with the following parameters: 60x20, 50x20, 50x25, 60x30, 45x20 cm. It is worth abandoning large-format porcelain tiles and seamless tiles.
- Additional friezes. This cladding detail has practically gone out of fashion. With modern wall decoration with tiles, the border greatly affects the visual effect, which spoils the overall impression of the design.
